Arctic warming taking the edge off extreme winters, Study
2014-06-16 05:13:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Canada Jurnal: Cold winter temperatures have become less extreme through large swathes of Europe and North America as global warming has taken hold, according to new research. The study, published in Nature Climate Change, says this trend is likely to continue. It means that punishing winters, like the deep freeze which struck the US in early 2014, could be less frequent in years to come. Dr Screen, a Mathematics Research Fellow at the University of Exeter, said: "Autumn and winter days are becoming warmer...

Arctic warming linked to fewer European and US cold weather extremes, study shows

PhysOrg: Climate change is unlikely to lead to more days of extreme cold, similar to those that gripped the USA in a deep freeze last winter, new research has shown. The Arctic amplification phenomenon refers to the faster rate of warming in the Arctic compared to places further south. It is this phenomenon that has been linked to a spike in the number of severe cold spells experienced in recent years over Europe and North America. However, new research by University of Exeter expert Dr James Screen has...

Spying heats up in melting Arctic as countries vie for energy wealth

Associated Press: In early March, a mysterious ship the size of a large passenger ferry left a Romanian wharf, glided through the narrow Bosporus that separates Europe and Asia, and plotted a course toward Scandinavia. About a month later, at the fenced-in headquarters of Norways military intelligence service, the countrys spy chief disclosed its identity. It was a $250 million spy ship, tentatively named Marjata, that will be equipped with sensors and other technology to snoop on Russias activities in the Arctic...
